Damon here with a call-to-action! We have two days left in our Kickstarter campaign to make the Red Dirt International Film Festival a reality (formerly FILMish). So far we’re at 67% of our goal.

The truth is, if we can get 50 people to each pledge $10 (about the cost of a festival event ticket), then we’re in! Or only 25 to pledge $20…The key is that there’s a short number of people needed to be our angels of this campaign, and you can be one of them! All levels of pledges receive great rewards (i.e. – I get video-recorded pies to-the-face with donors’ names on them, you get free festival tickets, awesome behind-the-scenes fest footage, exclusive party access, et cetera). This is a one-time drive to establish our permanent festival legitimacy with the festival clearinghouse, Withoutabox, and once we’re in we’ll be able to make this an annual tradition!

If you’ve ever purchased something on Amazon, you’ll find it even-easier to donate to our cause! And considering you can donate as-little as a $1, there is nothing to stop you from taking the length of a song to help us in this final push to bring more culture, education, charity, and fun to central Oklahoma and the arts world in-general! So don’t wait, expecting someone else to jump-in; good karma is waiting for you!

Check out this front-page article from last Friday’s local paper, the Stillwater NewsPress providing coverage about the campaign, and don’t forget to “like” Red Dirt on Facebook for regular-updates!

Also, be sure to check out the Payne County CASA website; they’re the organisation we’re donating 100% of our Fun-Run marathon proceeds to! CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate, is a nonprofit organization advocating for the best interest of abused and neglected children involved in the court system. We can think of no better local cause to contribute to during the course of the Red Dirt Festival!!

From Damon and Marisa, THANK YOU ALL for your support in making this a REALITY!

Most people like movies; we all have our favorites: the films that touch our hearts, scare us and make us jump, take us on far away adventures, make us feel like we are powerful and super-hero quality, and make us think in a different way than we did before.

We hope you will help us make this happen by donating to the cause on our Kickstarter page. We’ve already had just over 100 “likes” on our Red Dirt Facebook page, and already $200 pledged towards our $1,525 goal, within 10 days remaining to find the funds. If you’ve never given to a Kickstarter cause before, please check it out! We offer some pretty tempting rewards for your charity (pies in the face for Damon? Special-access tickets?).

Now…seriously…how many of these movies have you seen?
